Dr. Anthony Fauci said on CNN that while a “second wave” of coronavirus infections “could happen,” another outbreak is “not inevitable.”
Fauci, who has been warning about a “second wave” for months, appeared to back off his dire predictions slightly. In April he said, “We will have coronavirus in the fall. I am convinced of that.”
He told The Washington Post this month that he has “no doubt” there will be new waves of cases.
Fauci’s comments came days after he told CNBC that stay-at-home orders intended to curb the spread of the coronavirus could end up causing “irreparable damage” if imposed for too long.
“I don’t want people to think that any of us feel that staying locked down for a prolonged period of time is the way to go,” Fauci said during an interview Friday with CNBC’s Meg Tirrell on “Halftime Report.”
Fauci also threw cold water on any hope that hydroxychloroquine could prove the “miracle drug” some claimed it to be.
Fauci said Wednesday that “the lack of efficacy” for anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine, which has been touted by Trump as a game-changer against the coronavirus, is clear.
A study published Friday in medical journal The Lancet found that hospitalized Covid-19 patients treated with hydroxychloroquine had a higher risk of death than those who didn’t take it.
Earlier Wednesday, France said it banned the use of the potential treatment. On Monday, the World Health Organization said it temporarily suspended its trial of hydroxycholoroquine over safety concerns.

His story mutates with the political winds.
This guy has a knack for telling the future accurately, like he has a crystal ball.
The PIAPS-lover has no credibility anymore....nada, NONE!!
He and the PIAPS should be cellmates at GITMO....forever.
Mouths have two sides, and the good Doctor speaks out of both of them. So, he’s always correct.
thank you so much doc for dropping a few crumbs to us! we beg for your words!
His story mutates with the political winds.
Well Said
And I thought for sure that it was going to be our “October Surprise” this election year...
Dr. Weathervane tries to remain on camera, and employed...
This twisted doctor has served his little bit of usefulness...now goodbye “Doc”....truth is sad to say...... “Doc”...you is nothing but a loser and phony to boot. The overwhelming numbers of the American people & voters do not believe one word you say!!! You is finished BS artist in the extreme!!!
the “pandemic” will end on Nov 4th, 2020.
At future press conferences Fauci should be replaced with a look alike comedian.
It is now evident why this guy chose to go to work for the gov’t and not into the private sector. Job security insulated from the requirement of competence is the hallmark of gov’t jobs.
Fauci is the consummate bureaucrat. He will say: the Sun will rise in the East, then he will say: the Sun will rise in the West. Finally, he will say: the Sun will not rise at all.
He cannot be wrong and he has convinced everyone to dance to his jig. Quite a feat, and he will claim that he had nothing to do with the destruction of the greatest economy ever known.
Whatta freakin’ expurt.
Anything he says is covered in the first few lectures of Respiratory Pandemics 101.
Useless to be paying him $400k/year.
This guy has put every possibility on the table. He’s about as scientific as the Global Warming “experts”.
I still want to know how ANY infectious disease expert could endorse the idea of hooking-up for anonymous sex on Tinder.
Will ANYBODY ask him that question? ANYONE??
